Tonight's dog walk ticked all the boxes.

I was going to say something about the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, but fuggedaboutit. Languages are just beautiful and they don't have to come down to logic or realism or any form of prescriptivism (or its opposite).

Case in point, I love how in Japanese, the verb "to solve" is also the verb "to melt." Isn't that brilliant?

#Komorebi beschreibt das zarte Spiel von Sonnenstrahlen, die durch die Blätter der Bäume wirken, und von Schatten der Blätter, die in hellen Licht-Schatten-Flecken auf dem Boden oder im Blick der Betrachtenden wirbelnd tanzen.

"...Ein Spiel von Schatten und Licht, von Wind und Zeit, von Werden und Vergehen."

Im Film 'Perfect Days' von Wim Wenders, der mich Anfang April beeindruckte, ist btw Komorebi auch leitendes Thema.

Now that the Spring leaves are on the trees I can push on with my second major project, exploring the Japanese philosophy of Komorebi.
This is a word used to describe the look, atmosphere and feeling created when sunlight filters through leaves.
In English 'dappled' is probably the closest word to explain the appearance of such light, but Komorebi goes much further than a single, descriptive word.
